| Additional information |
Nader Shah's Dagestan campaigns of the early 1740s were punishing affairs — his forces pushed repeatedly into the Caucasus attempting to subdue the Lezgin tribes, and maintaining a functioning military mint in that theater was as much a logistical statement as a monetary one. The Dāghistān mint operated only briefly under Afsharid control, making surviving output scarce relative to the major imperial mints at Isfahan or Mashhad.
Type D distinguishes itself within the Nader Afshar rupee series by specific kalima arrangement, a classification refined largely through the die studies of Album and Goodwin.
